Sarajevo Summer Law School is a project organized by the European Law Students' Association (ELSA) in Bosnia and Herzegovina.[1]
ELSA summer law schools are organized, seven-day international schools on certain topics in science domains, guided by ideas which are helpful to youth in their academic progress and business prospects.
Idea of the project
[edit]The idea of the project came from Darko Dizdarević who was Vice President S&C of ELSA Bosnia and Herzegovina (B&H) at the moment of its foundation in 2013.[citation needed] The purpose is to expand knowledge in the area of law through lectures of recognized experts and to gather students from different countries in Europe to exchange their opinions and to create an effective network.
Founders
[edit]Beside Darko, other founders of Sarajevo Summer Law School are: Nihad Odobašić, Mirza Hebib, Harun Išerić, Amina Mašović, Enida Šačirović, Ana-Maria Paponja, Nasir Muftić, Ajdina Batalović, Emina Agić, and Muhamed Tulić.
Main ideas which characterize this project are the expansion of knowledge of students regarding certain themes in law which underpin the entire project, and the education and progressional upgrade of students who participate in it.[1] Networking being the main goal, it links students from all over Europe. ELSA summer law schools are held in the summer and gather approximately 40-50 participants.
ELSA B&H decided to start this project with the aim to give a unique opportunity to law students from B&H and other starters across Europe, increasing the academic standard in B&H, which did not include an opportunity of additional education. They also aimed to improve the reputation, structure and organization of ELSA B&H.
First Sarajevo Summer Law School
[edit] |
In 2014, ELSA Bosnia and Herzegovina organized the first Summer Law School on the topic Media Law and International Standards on Information Access. This school was the first law school of this type organized by students in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The idea for this project was created as a result of the need for a detailed and clear proposal solution of unarranged domain access to information and abuse of media rights to the detriment of conscientious citizens. The school attracted around 40 students from 15 different countries, who had lectures for seven days (7–14 August) at the School of Economics and Business in Sarajevo. Recognized lecturers and experts such as: MSc Dunja Mijatović (The OSCE Representative on Freedom of the Media), MSc Amer Džihana (Internews BiH), MSc Kristina Ćendić (Internews BiH), Helena Mandić (Communications Regulatory Agency B&H), DSc Marco Bellezza (Associate at Portolano Cavallo Studio Legale), DSc Oreste Pollicino (Bocconi University) and Anja Gengo (University of Sarajevo) attended.
The announcement of the first Sarajevo Summer Law School and promotion of signing a memorandum of cooperation with institutions and non-governmental organizations were reported by many media in B&H of which is important to mention the state television ˝TV Sarajevo˝ and ˝Hayat TV˝ with contributions in television shows about the school, radio station ˝Antena Sarajevo˝ with a contribution in a radio show and ˝Dnevni Avaz˝ as a written media. During the lasting of the seven-day school, the following media were reporting: ˝Antena Sarajevo˝, ˝RSG Radio˝, ˝Klix.ba˝, ˝Fena TV˝, ˝TV Sarajevo˝, ˝Ekskluziva.ba˝, and many web portals of student organizations and civil society organizations.[citation needed] The official websites of all the project partners have set promotional information about the successful realization of the school.[citation needed]
